Friday-Night "Fried" Chicken

Crispy fried chicken is comfort food at its best, but tonight, this old-fashioned favorite is baked instead of fried, making it lighter and less of a time commitment. Simply coat the chicken and put it in the oventhere's no hot pan to tend to, no chicken to flip, no dirty oil to deal with. A Rice, Bean, and Corn Salad provides fiber, veggies, and grains in one dish.

Time-Saving Tip

Need to shave off some prep time? Use store-bought bread crumbs rather than making your own. If available, choose pankothese Japanese bread crumbs are lighter than the traditional variety, which makes for a tender, not dense, crust.
